After dawn, firecrackers began to be heard everywhere in Lin'an. During this period, firecrackers were heard every now and then, celebrating the victory of Xuzhou, celebrating the victory of Suzhou, celebrating the capture of Daming Prefecture, celebrating the victory of Sishui, etc. The people gradually got used to it. However, the sound of firecrackers today seemed to be louder than usual. Many people went to buy the Morning Post. The content of the Morning Post was indeed exciting. The Regent made a surprise plan to burn Rencheng and wiped out 30,000 elite Jurchen cavalry.

The 30,000 Jin soldiers were wiped out, which meant that the Song army had recovered the two routes of Jingdong, and the entire Lin'an City was in full swing, and the streets and alleys were discussing this matter.

At noon, in the Sanyuan Teahouse next to the Taixue School, a group of Taixue students were enthusiastically discussing the current situation.

"I guess the Song army implemented an empty city plan and moved the people away in advance. The city was filled with fire-burning objects. When the Jin soldiers stayed overnight in the city, the Song army blocked the city gate so that the Jin soldiers could not come out. Of course, all the 30,000 Jin soldiers died in Rencheng. Otherwise, why did it be called to burn Rencheng?"

A student of the Imperial College conducted a specific analysis according to the content of the Morning Post, which attracted everyone's approval.

Someone exclaimed: "The real surprise soldier of the Regent went north by sea, which made the Jin soldiers never dream of. Didn't the Morning Post say that we used surprise soldiers to capture Daming Mansion? This surprise soldier passed by from the sea and caught the enemy guarding the city off guard. I heard that the warships had blocked the Yellow River, making it impossible for the Jin soldiers to go south, and the recovery of the Central Plains was just around the corner."

"But when winter comes, the Yellow River freezes, and the Jin soldiers can still go south."

"The Yellow River has been frozen for at least half a year! At that time, the Central Plains had long been recovered. Even if the Jin soldiers came, we would not be afraid. Let's fight the city's offensive and defensive battle."

A scholar said quietly: "Why did the Regent attack on Daming Mansion? Isn't it just to keep the battlefield in Hebei? It also laid the foundation for the recovery of Hebei."

A group of scholars suddenly became quiet, and suddenly someone slapped the table, "Great!"

The scholars suddenly realized and praised them without hesitation.

At this time, a scholar ran in and whispered: "Have you heard of it? The Supreme Emperor has passed away."

The teahouse suddenly became quiet, and someone whispered: "I'm just dead now, I'm going to give him a discount!"

"That's right, he doesn't know how much it will cost to bury him. He commits evil in life and becomes a burden if he dies!"

Everyone said something, and I said something, and they were full of sarcasm for Zhao Ji's death, but there was no good thing. Soon, everyone's topic turned to the battle situation, which was the major thing they were concerned about.

This is a little more concerned about scholars. They are not interested in ordinary people and the death of the Supreme Emperor. Even the next day's "Morning Post" only posted an obituary at the bottom of the first page of government affairs.

Zhao Ji's death was like a gust of wind, and it disappeared after blowing. After a few months, it was completely forgotten and completely disappeared into the long river of history.

............

Wanyan Xie was really worried during this period. The Song army's full-scale attack came too suddenly, especially Li Yanqing's attack from the sea caught him off guard.

It was only five days after Wanyan Xie was captured that he realized that it was the Song army that captured the Daming Mansion, not the Liangshan bandits reported by Gao Qingyi. So where did the Song army come from?

Wanyan Xie thought for a long time before he focused his eyes on the sea. He could only go on the sea route. Taking advantage of the southeast wind, the Song army's sea boats could go north.

However, although it was guessed that the Song army captured the Daming Mansion, Wanyan Xie still did not show any expression. Instead, he used Gao Qingyi's army to regain the Daming Mansion. However, he did not expect that Gao Qingyi was also a traitor. The 50,000 army attacked the city for five consecutive days, but he did not even touch the city. This really made Wanyan Xie extremely angry.

On the tenth day, Wanyan Xie could no longer hold back and finally decided to send troops to Daming Mansion. At the same time, he sent people to Shangjing Mansion to send a letter to the wolf master. He strongly demanded that he stop attacking the grassland and gather troops to fight the Song army to the decisive battle.

At present, there are 130,000 troops in Yanshan Prefecture. Wanyan Xie also ordered Wanyan Xiyin to lead 30,000 Han troops to garrison Yanshan Prefecture. He personally led the Jin army south, including the Jurchens, Bohai, Goryeo, Khitan, Xi and other tribes, with a total of 100,000 troops coming to Daming Prefecture.

At present, what Wanyan Xie is most worried about is the situation of the 50,000 Jin soldiers in the Central Plains. Now the news south of the Yellow River has basically been cut off.

Although the Jin Kingdom had many intelligence points south of the Yellow River, the problem was that all the flying pigeons south of the Yellow River had to pass through Daming Mansion, and then they were transferred from Daming Mansion to Yanshan Mansion to exchange for carrier pigeons.

Losing the most critical link, the intelligence point in the south lost its function, making the Jin soldiers deaf and blind. Except for the intelligence point in Jingzhao Prefecture that the Song army had made a full-scale northern expedition, he knew nothing about the other details.

At dusk that day, a hundred thousand troops arrived in Qinghe County, Enzhou. The troops temporarily stationed outside the county town and continued to move south early the next morning.

The soldiers were busy setting up camp tents. At this time, the magistrate of Qinghe County brought a businessman to find Wanyan Xieye.

"Mr. Qi County Magistrate, what's the matter with me?"

Because of his extremely high status, Wanyan Xie was quite polite to the officials below.

"Once I am here to thank Your Highness for not disturbing the people, I will tell Your Highness about the Central Plains."

Two days ago, Wanyan Xie also ordered all prefectures and counties in Hebei to collect information from the Central Plains. Those who provide accurate information will receive a heavy reward. He himself cannot get information from the Central Plains, so he can only rely on officials in Hebei.

Wanyan Xie was also excited and asked quickly: "What news?"

The magistrate of Qi said to a businessman behind him: "Tell me!"

The merchant said tremblingly: "Xiaomin has a shop in Xuzhou. He received a pigeon letter from the shop two days ago, saying that the Yellow River was blocked and he could not cross the river. The letter mentioned that Xuzhou was defending to the death, and 20,000 Jin soldiers were besieged by 100,000 Song troops."

"What!"

Wanyan Xie also grabbed the businessman and roared: "What did you say?"

The merchant was so scared that he was trembling all over and couldn't say a word. Wanyan Xie also put him down, "Where is the Gexin?"

The merchant handed a pigeon letter tremblingly, and Wanyan Xie hurriedly opened it and looked carefully. The pigeon letter in front of him was indeed written with the news that the 100,000 Song army besieged 20,000 Jin soldiers. Although the result was not written, it was enough to make Wanyan Xie anxious. At least the thing he was most looking forward to did not happen, and the two Jin soldiers did not merge into one.

This is the result he hopes most. If the two Jin soldiers merge into one, that is, the army of 50,000 is not afraid of any Song army, but if they are not merged, they will probably be defeated by each one.

Wanyan Xie also felt like he was bleeding in his heart. The 100,000 army was most likely the 100,000 Jingzhao army transferred from Guanzhong by Li Yanqing.

After a while, Wanyan Xie calmed down and asked again: "Can your pigeon letter still communicate?"

"Okay, if the king needs it?"

"Immediately send a pigeon letter to ask about the situation of the Jin soldiers in Xuzhou and the situation of the Jin soldiers in Yunzhou. Ask it clearly and then tell me."

"King, it's going to be dark, and I'm afraid it's going to be tomorrow morning as soon as possible."

"Then I'll send a letter tomorrow morning. I hope to get accurate information before dark tomorrow."

"The villain understands!" Wanyan Xie immediately sent a team of personal soldiers to follow the businessman.

Wanyan Xie also sighed deeply. If it was because of the court's strategic mistake, he temporarily let the Song Dynasty attack the grassland, which led to his passiveness today.

But the grassland must be fought. This strategic decision itself is not a problem. In the final analysis, the Jin Dynasty was not strong enough.

When the Liao Dynasty was attacked, most of the 500,000 Liao soldiers and 200,000 Xi soldiers were killed. If the surrender was accepted at that time, the Jin Dynasty's military strength would not be as difficult as it is today. If Hebei and the Central Plains were not so cruel to loot and kill, and completely destroy it, then Liu Yu and Gao Qingyi would have enough financial resources to recruit troops.

But it's useless to regret now.

Wanyan Xie also paced back and forth with his hands behind his back. He remembered another thing and couldn't help but feel upset. The wolf master actually sent Wanyan Jiemu as deputy commander, and even possessed the Golden Wolf Head Order, which made Wanyan Xie feel distrustful.

It is said that the wolf master reached some kind of agreement with Bohai and Goryeo to send half of the people and property from Hebei to the Bohai tribe and Goryeo tribe, which was unacceptable to Wanyan Xie.

It is estimated that Wanyan Jiemu came to complete the agreement.
Chapter completed!
